MeeGo will never be a usable commercial OS that system vendors can
package and put on devices if our video APIs are based on a non DRM +
proprietary codec friendly system (never mind the other problems
mentioned by Dave). Gstreamer makes such integration fairly easy and
there is integration for various hardware acceleration.

Anyways we can harnest most of the power of ffmpeg in gstreamer with
gst-ffmpeg, if you feel you're missing some codecs ;-)
